MRBC aims to enable and encourage people to own, maintain, and ride bicycles safely.
We reclaim, refurbish, and redistribute used bicycles that would otherwise be heading for the landfill. We teach mechanics to youth and adults, and we partner with local DC area organizations to promote an inclusive and responsible bicycling community.
MRBC focuses its services locally but the shop and its programs are open to all members on a donation basis.

Thursday Open Shop Recap

This recap coming a few days late, but better late than never...

Slower open shop this past Thursday. Michael stopped by and we replaced his bottom bracket. Laura and a friend came in and worked on the green three-speed that we've had in the back room for a long time and just recently got the tires for (it's the old English 3-speed tire sizing, ISO 590). Kevin stopped by with a bike to donate, and is thinking about coming back to build up a bike from the back room. And Dave stopped by for a bit to check in and see how things were going.

Also made progress on a blue Cignal mountain bike that should be ready for sale soon. Just have to fix a squeaky front brake.
